BENEDICT md ACKERMAN

Public Printer Benedict bids fair. if he con-
tinues as he has begun TO acquire a reputation
as unsavory as that of Garland himself APP
pointed by President who processes ulac
Civil Service Reform is the corner stone Of the
policy Of his Administration, Benedict is pur-
suing course which demonstrates that I've Is
welded to the spois system. Cleveland, the
amounting power insists that public Office IS
public trust. Benedict, the appointec would
seem TO conduct his Office on the theory that
public Office is n good place for hungry Dem
ocrats. VIII Cleveland interfere with Ben

Alderman. one Of the employees Of the Gov
crnmcnt Printing Office, brand him as a SMALL
tricky official. Alderman had been COM
postor In tho Office for many years, and had
proved himself TO be good and faithful public
servant Last year, on the suggestion OF ben
edict himself. he entered competitive OK
animation for the position OF proof-reader'
He was successful. and after reading proof 1or
awhile in the Government Medical Library was
promoted TO the proof room of The Congios-

have hcsitated to leave the case for the proof
room if he had supposed that by so dong he
ran any danger Of losing his place in the onlce
But Benedict assured him that there was no
such risk, and that in the event Of his services
not being required in the proof-room he should
be sent back TO his work as compositor. What
actually happened was that Benedict going
back on his word, has dismissed Alderman from
the proof-room has refused to rcinStatc him in
the compostorS' room, and so has shut him out
absolutely from the Office.

HOW TO MAKE IN ALMANAC

Some OF The TRIBUNE's vigilant critics have
sought to disparage the present number OF The
Almanac on the ground that election statistics
wero missing for several States. Ono or two Of
them have taken pains TO remark that Mr. Greeley
would never have sane toned the omission Of
returns from important States. Our reply Is that
lie frequently sanctioned such omissions when the
figures could not DO obtained by the first week
in January and when tho publication CT his
favoritc political manual would have been de
ferred for weeks IL the compiler had waited for
complete returns. This he precise reason why
the first edition OF The Almanac for 1887 went t.
press soon after Christmas without details Of the
elections in California Colorado. North Carolina.
Tennessee md Texas Our patrons have formed
the habit OF buying the manual early in the year.
They look for IL at that time and disappointed
II they are not allowed TO have it. Our rule has
been to oblo'n MI tie information that IS Gcccssi
bic from the Departments Of State throughout the
Union up TO the end Of the year. and to put The
Almanac TO press In coed time. The omissions
are few and unimportant IN any year, and the
delay would be very ycxatious q regular pur-
chascrs, il we persisted in waiting every year for
complete returns In all cases

The Democrats in the Assembly did not get
much of an apology from Mr.. Crosby, but they
got all they were entitled TO. He adhered to
his remarks that many "striking" bills have
been introduced on that side of the House,
without mentioning names. There was no need
Of doing so. The guilty members are pretty
well known.
The course of justice would be greatly aided
by prompt decisions in capital cases. Long
delays in carrying out sentences lessen their
effect on the public mind, and particularly or
criminals. whose chances of escape are thereby
increased. For this reason it Is to he depored
that decision in the cases of the Chicago
Anarchists is not likely to be made by the IL
linois Supreme Court for several months. In
tie meantime the country must endure Mrs
Parsons and others of her kind who go about
trying TO mako trouble and unfolding the use
Of bombs and dynamite.
Tho Democrats in the Legislature propose
TO make their record On the side of the rum
interests as strong as possible. They made
an Intellectual effort yesterday to advance in the
Assembly the outrageous bill to permit the sale
of liquor in this city on Sunday. They tried
also to advance other bills In the interest of
the liquor-shops The Republicans voted
against such measures and they will do well
TO defeat every bill of that kind.
Judge Cowing laid down an excellent rule
yesterday in disposing of an Excise case.
Instead of permitting the trial of their cases at
Special Sessions, where they can be quickly
disposed Of, the defendants in these cases elect
to 60 10 the General Sessions, with the expecta-
ton of never being brought TO trial or of get
ting of with light fine. The Judge said in
oil such cases brought before him conviction
would be followed by Imprisonment. If that
wise rule is adhered 10 by the other Judges
there will be few violations of the Excise laws.

If Ncw-York officials were allowed the same
latitude as those of London it Is hard 10 tell
what would become Of the CITY, 1t appears by
